Radio Show Hour 2 – 2026/08/15

[00:00:01] You're listening to the Liberty News Radio Network, and this is The Political Cesspool. The Political Cesspool, known across the South and worldwide as the South's foremost populist conservative radio program. And here to guide you through the murky waters of The Political Cesspool is your host, James Edwards.

[00:00:29] Well, welcome back, everybody. The second hour is now upon us this Saturday evening. August the 15th, we're live on TPC from Alabama. Watumka, Alabama, the fifth annual conference of the Southern Nationalist League. The Southern Cultural Center. I'm looking at Michael Hill. I'm looking at Michael Hill, the Southern Nationalist League. This is the Southern Cultural Center, southernculturalcenter.com. Our culture, our heritage, our land, our people.

[00:00:57] They are Southern Christian protectors, and I have had such a great time here this weekend, as I do every time I'm down here at the Southern Cultural Center. Implosion of the empire was a topic this weekend. Secede to survive, down with the eagle, up with the cross. And we had just heard from Michael Hill in our first hour. He closed the conference. But to open the conference, there's fire breathers and there's fire eaters.

[00:01:24] And we got a fire eater right here, Holt, Hoyt McCoy. Hoyt McCoy. Hoyt McCoy. With an accent you will not forget. Hoyt, how you doing tonight? It's always good to spend time with you when we're down here. Oh, I am very pleased to be here, and we're glad to be with the only representation of the Old South and proud of Memphis. We got one more right behind you. There's just a couple. Just a couple. For the people listening on the radio and around the world tonight, what are we here for?

[00:01:55] I'll tell you what. We are here because of a dire need. And I opened my speech up here today with I had a friend who lives in South Africa. His home was raided. And he ends up being attacked by four men, stabbed four times, one of the stab wounds right above his eye. And it almost goes into his – thank God it did not hit his brain. Went into surgery.

[00:02:23] And he is stable now. He went into surgery. He's stable now. And thank God he is okay last I heard. But I was telling everybody that's what's coming here if we don't act. But furthermore than that, even more so, we need to develop our love as a people and come together like never before.

[00:02:46] Parallels, comparisons to Zimbabwe and Rhodesia, South Africa were made. And, you know, one thing the left always likes to say is, well, you're just afraid. You're phobic. You're a phobe. It is just the most logical connect-the-dot exercise you can find to compare our current situation to those places if it advances to that level.

[00:03:15] It's as sure as you are sitting here, Hoyt. And we see it in Selma, not far from here. I mean, I was talking with Dr. Hill about Selma. The last time I was here, I went with Jared Taylor and Brad Griffin. Brad gave us the tour. And some other friends, John Hill. And we went to Selma.

[00:03:36] And what I said about Selma was it is impossible to exaggerate. If you, all right, if we were trying to paint Selma in the most unflattering light possible, it would be impossible to describe it in such a way that meets the reality.

[00:04:07] If I was trying to tell you of a third-world hellscape and describe it, I couldn't do better than what Selma actually is. And it's unreal. It's unreal. So, yes, the point is, you were saying, that is the future if they get that level of dominance in the demographics of any given area, city, town, county, state, nation. That's what's coming. It's going to be a big Selma.

[00:04:37] It's going to be a big Haiti. Yes, absolutely. And I like how the fact you mentioned Selma. Notice you didn't say Birmingham. You didn't say Atlanta. So it doesn't matter if we're talking about an urban area or we're talking about a rural area. What's in common is about the people. When you lose white people, you lose Western civilization. Hear, hear. Because I didn't know this until today, even after all these years.

[00:05:03] And Michael Hill's been such a great friend for so many years, such a regular guest. I didn't know that his wife was born in Selma. Now, that was a different time and a slightly better time, but only slightly. I mean, you know. But, yes, when our people leave an area and they take it. Well, I think, I don't know if it was Jared or the old council. But, I mean, basically, civilization ceased to exist, even if you hand it to them on a silver platter.

[00:05:33] I was on CNN for one of these things, an hour-long debate, primetime debate on CNN about segregation, self-segregation. And one of the things they brought up in this package is sort of this gotcha thing is this affluent black area, very nice neighborhood. And, of course, I laughed and said, you know, you've outdone yourself to find this clip.

[00:06:02] Let's see what it looks like in a few years, you know. And certainly that neighborhood today, I know it for a fact because I kept tabs on it. I mean, it's just completely unlivable. It's just, it looks like Selma, which is not surprising. So, again, we want to, it is our duty, I think, it is our God-given duty to want to protect our family. I mean, what are we here for as men, as the spiritual and physical and financial leader? You know, the leaders of a home.

[00:06:31] And the homes are building blocks of civilization. The wombs are the building blocks of civilization. Family is the building blocks of civilization. We have to protect our family. How do you protect your family if you cannot address this issue that is going to destroy them? And this issue is, it has a racial dynamic. Amen, amen, and amen.

[00:06:50] And as you bring up the men, one of the, my speech was specifically on highlighting the example of no and none other than Edmund Winston Pettus, a man among men. Ah, yes, yes. I think he has a bridge named after him somewhere. Oh, yes, and that was exactly my point.

[00:07:09] Isn't it interesting and rather unfortunate that the very thing memorialized with his name that half the people can't even remember the virtues we want to emulate about him, but all we remember is some trashy event in 1965. It had nothing to do with him. Exactly. And at that, he was much better than anybody that was marching across that bridge. He was much better than anyone who marched across that bridge. Now, people don't know the actual Edmund Pettis.

[00:07:34] You maybe have heard about the bridge and so-called Bloody Sunday, but Pettis was hardcore. Oh, yes, absolutely. You're talking about absolute great war hero, man of the people. They say he spoke with eloquence. And, you know, what he did and the way he showed out at Vicksburg, I read letters of recommendation. Showed out. I mean, he really did.

[00:08:01] You're talking about a man who led a charge into enemy, a captured area where the enemy had captured part of our works. And from what I understand from one of the recommendations, it was described that he grabbed the enemy colors within his own hands. You're talking about a very brave man. And then what he did for our people even during Reconstruction. Yeah, he stayed involved after the war. I think we could say that, too. Very awesome man and great man of the South.

[00:08:29] And every time we look at that bridge and see his name on it, that's what we should be proud of and want our children to be. I'm glad that they kept the name, you know, because they would have certainly changed it. They think it's a big gotcha thing to keep the name up there, like, you know, how bad he was supposedly was or how bad the old South supposedly was. But another thing about Selma is they parachute. I was talking to Michael about this earlier. They parachute, you know, any sitting president. Trump hasn't done it. I'll give him that. But they parachute all these other presidents in and Oprah Winfrey and all these celebrities.

[00:08:57] You would think that at least the landing on both sides of the bridge that would be well maintained. But you've got Martyrs Park right there on one end of the bridge. With all the lights busted out. I mean, graffiti everywhere, boarded up stuff, even in their museums there in Selma. I mean, this is like the mecca of the whole civil rights mythology. This is their capital, you know, place. And on the other side, you've got, you know, the downtown Selma proper, everything boarded up, rotting.

[00:09:24] Even right off of both sides of the bridge, they can't even maintain a little area, at least for TV crews. But it's really something. It really is. And, you know, what's interesting when you bring that up, what is maintained, though, isn't it? It's really interesting that they have interpretive centers everywhere, though, in places. Like right there close to Selma, they can't have enough money or invest projects that even make the city run. It's all graffiti. It's all airbrush stuff. I was telling Michael they had the Fountain of Black Enlightenment.

[00:09:52] And it was supposed to be a fountain with this, you know, recirculating, you know, cascading water, as you might imagine. And it was all stagnant, completely filthy, stinking water in this fountain of black renewal or whatever, enlightenment or whatever. So, Selma's something if you haven't been there. But, and it's not too far from where we're at, which is why I'm bringing you up, I guess.

[00:10:17] But that is a snapshot into what your city, your state, your region, your nation, your world will be. And I know you look at the demographics and we're a dwindling minority. I don't know where all this minority talk. Whites are the minority in the world. And it has to be arrested. But even a small number of whites can do great things, but we've got to get uncut. Hoyt McCoy, everybody. Why cannot I say that? Well, Hoyt McCoy.

[00:13:08] Just heard from Hoyt McCoy. Always a favorite of mine. Where did Hoyt go? Did he leave? Well, in any event. Great guy. Always enjoy talking to him when I'm down this way. But now we're back with another native Alabamian, Brad Griffin of Occidental Descent. Now, Brad, you were on the show. You gave a big talk yesterday. The transcript of it is already up at occidentaldescent.com, so be sure to check that out. If you missed it, you can read it.

[00:13:37] But we already did a show on the topic that I'm about to ask you about. So we'll start there, and then we'll move forward to other things. But you were on with us all the time. But you were most recently on with us on June 13th. And the topic of that show was one year after the Political Cesspool's Will to Power Conference, which was held in late May of 2025 last year. And, of course, we raced to put that together.

[00:14:07] I wasn't even planning to have a conference. And then we ended up having one of the, you know, really one of the most unique conferences I've ever had in terms of just levels of power or power on every level, aspiring candidates, former members of the United States Congress, sitting members of Parliament in Europe, you know, sitting senators in Europe, former members of European Parliament. I mean, we had all of that.

[00:14:34] And because Trump had gotten off to such a flurry of good things when he first re-assumed office. And I was there with you. It just so happened that the Conservative Citizens Foundation was having a board of directors meeting that I was invited to send in on as a guest. And as we were watching all the things that Trump had done in that first week back in office, I mean, we decided to put together a conference and just see, you know, how can we tap into this for our purposes?

[00:15:04] And you gave a speech at that conference that was very high and optimistic on Trump. And now here we are 14 months later. You gave another speech. Wow. Okay. Just take it from there. Yes, it was the most negative speech I've ever given in years of politics. Well, you know, a year makes, you know, a lot of difference. You know, we've learned a lot over the last year.

[00:15:33] It was only a few days after that conference in Greenville last year that we had the bombing, the first bombing in Iran. It was within two weeks after getting back. I'm glad we did it as fast as we did because it would have been a whole different vibe. But go on, Brad. Yeah, yeah. I mean, things looked, I mean, from the perspective of last year, things looked very different. But from the perspective of this year, you look back on last year and you're like, wow. Well, anyway, the theme of this speech is, you know, being here at the Southern Cultural Center.

[00:16:00] I think back to over a decade ago at the end of the Obama era. Obama had been president for eight years. People were tired of traditional conservatism. They were frustrated with it. McCain had lost. Romney had lost. People were looking for something more radical and alternative. People were joining organizations like the League. We had the council at the time. The alt-right was surging. It was, you know, a very promising moment, right?

[00:16:30] And then out of nowhere, here comes Trump, comes down the escalator. And as I likened it to my speech, I didn't include it in the transcript. You can think it, you can look back at this whole 13, well, it's going to be 13 years when it's over. But I likened it to a fake palm tree, like a fake plastic palm tree that you have out in your front yard. And for 10, it's been 11 years. It's going to be 13 years in the end.

[00:16:58] And for 13 years, people went out and they poured their water on this fake plastic palm tree. And instead of neglecting their own gardens, they poured all their time, their attention, their hopes, their dreams, their money. People went to jail for this guy. Thousands of people did over January 6th. He did let them out. He did, to his credit. And that's why, you know, one of the things that, you know, got us in this optimistic mood.

[00:17:28] But what do we have to show for it? It's going to be at the end of 13 years. And certainly would have wanted more. I mean, I am thankful that we can talk about, right? I mean, the youth is radicalized. And again, how much of this is because of Trump or in spite of him? I mean, we can always debate. You're right, you're right. You're right. This is a silver lining. Let me share a ray of optimism with the audience because I don't want to black people, black pill people in oblivion.

[00:17:56] But, you know, the Israel question, the influence of Jewish donors, how they control the GOP, how they purchase and put out and create these fake populist movements. It's been a real education over the last year, I would say. And what has been seen cannot be unseen. So as we head into this next decade of horrors, because it's going to. All right. So you've been a pretty good.

[00:18:24] You do this every year at OD, occidentaldissent.com. You do your predictions. And then you always are man enough to follow up and let the folks. Every year. Remind the folks of which one's hit and which one's missed. And I got some of the big things right. You get most of them right. Yeah. Nobody's perfect. I mean, you can't possibly make political predictions and it'd be 100%. But so what are you looking at right now? Well, it's going to be a disaster. What are you looking at in November, the first Tuesday in November? Oh, it's going to.

[00:18:53] What's the Oracle tell you? The Oracle is that we'll probably lose states. We're not even expecting to lose. It looks like Texas may very well swing. We're on the verge of Texas becoming a blue state. Calarico. North Carolina is going to go the way of Virginia. So is Georgia. And it's going to be terrible. And that's going to be the vibe heading into 28. Okay. So you have that.

[00:19:18] And then that's going to clash with the radicalism of the right with our youth. And you let that simmer for. The youth have completely abandoned Trump. They're gone. They're not coming back. So it may take some years to marinate. And there's going to be some suffering. Suffering is necessary, actually. You're right. You're not going to. Nothing's going to happen unless people suffer.

[00:19:47] If they're too comfortable, they're never going to look at radical options. So there's. I don't want anybody to suffer because I have three, three, three kids. You have three kids. I mean, no father wants a society that's heading into these dark and uncertain times. But but it is it is coming. And so if it is coming, you gird your loins and you say, well, if we can get through it, we'll be better off. And there is a chance for that. But it's going to look totally different than electing a president that says a lot of good things.

[00:20:16] And Trump did make these winning issues. And we've talked about that. But it's going to be something. Yeah. I mean, it's next. I should write a whole article on the things that we have taken away from the Trump era. If you had to say anything in terms of not, you know, not the praiseworthy of Trump, but how as a race we may be better suited for taking the next step as a result of the last 10 years. What would you how would you frame that? OK.

[00:20:46] Can you even do? I mean, I mean, I think a lot of younger people are extremely radicalized. And I think the I mean, they've they've seen how politics works, how how donors can completely purchase purchase a presidency and you can wake up in the middle of night. And guess what? We're at war with Iran and we're we're we're doing the whole George W. Bush talking points over again. It's weapons of mass destruction. They're evil. They're going to nuke us.

[00:21:14] And you can just wake up one day because there's all these secret backroom deals that are cut and you don't you don't find out you're not in on it. But this is an experience. This is an experience that no one is going to forget. I voted for Trump three times. He never called me to ask me about Iran. I only only only voted. I only voted for him twice. And in my defense. Now, I did fall for it. But the second time this this this you fell for it again. Stickers at Apple Publishing, I think. Yeah. This is the second time.

[00:21:43] It was more like I want to get this over with as soon as possible. I don't even know if it's a sense of falling for it, because, as I say, the Democrats are going to do it all that he's done. All this thing. Michael and I were talking about this. Dr. Hill and I were talking about this earlier today. It's easy when you're not in power. The Democrats are not currently in power to to act as though they're going to be some sort of a fresh voice on the on the Israeli issue. Now, there is a lot of discontent amongst leftist youth on that issue, but only because

[00:22:12] they look at Jews and see white people. We saw they think that they're colonists. You know, they think they're Christopher Columbus. They're placing the brown Gazans. When Israel flattened Gaza, it was all Joe Biden. That was one of the things that, you know, opened the permission for Trump. So they will do the same things that we don't like Trump is doing. Yeah. So they will be worse on the border and they will weaponize every department, governmental agency against every group that we know. Everybody on my Christmas card list is going to get a call from.

[00:22:41] I hope everybody's rich enough to buy pardons because I don't know if I don't know if we're in that income bracket. So what's what do we look like? We're talking about year on year. Where you were last year when you were speaking, you were the first speaker at that event that featured, you know, all of these elected officials and former elected. And I'm talking about high level. We're not talking about, you know, well, I'm sitting council, but where are we a year from now? A year from now? A year from now.

[00:23:08] We'll we'll be at the 2028 race will be on. Trump will have been impeached for the third time. There will be Democrats will be harassing him with investigations, I think. Who knows how the war is going to go, how the economy goes? Because he doesn't need Congress to keep, you know, he doesn't need Congress. He could essentially start a ground war with Iran. And we don't we don't know how that's going to go.

[00:23:36] Hopefully it simmers down, but I doubt it. Looking ahead. Well, it's going to be terrible. 28 for imagine. Imagine whoever has to run in that slot. They got to own Trump's legacy and say, you know, it was fantastic. Everything you did, it was completely because you can't you can't do what a Republican could try to do in 2032, which seems like a lifetime from now.

[00:24:04] You're going to have to be married to the Trump administration. You're going to have to at once defend it, but also run away from it. I mean, that is a little. I don't understand. You're going to have to defend it because you're going to be probably the vice president. James, he's at he's at he's at 18 percent with independents. 18, 18 percent. That is that's just as you say. As you said, on O.D. this week, Republicans are only 30 percent of the electorate, you know, right. Solid Republicans.

[00:24:32] And so, well, we'll continue on. And we've got some surprises as we move forward. We are going to do pairings of some people you've heard featured. And Eddie the Bombadier Miller is here. Long time TPC founding co-host. We'll be right back. How would you like to help this program reach more people and earn silver at the same time? Call or text 801-669-2211 for complete details.

It is common for politicians, major media outlets, and nonprofits to hype white on black murders aggressively, or even claim that blacks are living in fear of white people. Lent's for simply being black. Hard to believe, but that's what was done. And some people still want to do that.

[00:28:18] This is why National Conservative launched the Interracial Homicide Tracking Project. We have now documented well over 2,000 confirmed interracial homicides since January 2023, and created the most comprehensive overview of these killings anyone has ever made. We plug the gaping holes in data left by other homicide trackers and government prime stats. Rather than engaging in hyperbole and vitriolic rhetoric like everyone else,

[00:28:44] we are simply creating a massive sample size of empirical evidence so people can form rational and informed opinions about a sensitive and politically charged issue. Visit natcon.life.com.

[00:30:09] Well, we're having just about too much fun here at the Southern Cultural Center's fifth national conference, Southernculturalcenter.com, and we are halfway through this show. We are halfway through, but that means we still got to have to go. Folks, very quick, very quick. Are you all having a good time tonight? All right. I'm having a good time, too, and I'm having a good time with you all.

[00:30:38] I'm having a good time with my longtime friend Brad Griffin, who is a contemporary in so many ways, not just politically, but in terms of seasons of life. We're the same age. We have the same number of kids. Seeing the same things. Yeah. Brad, so many memories with you, Brad, over the years, going back to the old council, and, of course, you married into movement royalty. Your daughter is, of course, her father, Gordon, Gordon Baum,

[00:31:06] and Linda, who's still so great, and really appreciate her. And you continue the work at occidentaldescent.com, and you're a regular guest here, and, of course, a speaker here at the Southern Cultural Center. Let's refocus on that just for a moment, and then I'll let you take it any direction you want. But if you had to explain to the listening audience why you're here and what the purpose of this weekend was, how would you do that?

[00:31:33] But, you know, I want to say the main reason I'm here is, you know, to reconnect with everybody. I just, you know, enjoy seeing everybody. This feels like, always feels like coming home, see everybody once a year, and glad to see Dr. Hill and Tubbs back. And, see, that's a memory of what happened earlier that I'll never forget, but, you know, watching a friend and getting married in this building. How about that today? How many conferences have we seen that happen at?

[00:32:00] In the last two conferences, I've brought a new child. So I brought my daughter for the first time this time. Saw them all three here tonight. Where'd they go? Oh, they're out in the car. They're about to go. They're getting tired. They're getting tired. Send Jordy's out there watching. Can you stay to the end, or do you have to go? I can stay to the end. All right, good. Very, very good. And then, you know, the after party at the – well, I'm not going to tell the hotel because we – I'm not going to mention the name of the hotel because we wanted to still be standing tomorrow.

[00:32:29] But, all right, so we're here, yes, to reconnect, and that is important. And do not – do not discount that. I mean – That's important. We were not meant to be alone. We were meant to be a collective, and that is a problem that the men of the West have always had is we've been too individualistic. And so it is important for us to come together as a group and to share collective interest and to fight for a future that involves, you know, our community.

[00:32:58] But – which – so you're here for that. Exactly. But what is the greater – We're here. We're here. There is no greater cause. But what else were some of the things – how would you describe this weekend in terms of the conference, I guess, is what I'm trying to ask? I thought the conference was great. I learned a lot. People have different projects. I enjoyed talking to Eric, who was here. I'm so glad – thank you, Brad, for mentioning that.

[00:33:26] Because he had to leave early due to a family conflict, not if it was bad. It was just he had – his parents were visiting and he had to get back. Eric Orwald from The Return to the Land. Now, he was a speaker so nice, he went twice. He spoke yesterday and today, but for different reasons. And Eric – I know he's a friend of yours. He's been on the show. Yes. He actually drove down to Memphis last year. We did a full three hours with him in studio back at the home base and stayed in touch with him.

[00:33:53] He's been on since then, I think, a couple of hits or a couple of cameos on different ensemble programming. But, yeah, so he was – let's talk about his message. Wait, wait, wait. One thing I'll say before we get to that. One thing I'll say about the center is that as we get into the 2030s, I really get the sense that we really need to double down and refocus on Southern culture, Southern identity, Southern history. And as I used my analogy earlier about, you know, how you pour your water into the – on the fake plastic palm tree,

[00:34:22] that's what we need to be pouring our attention and heart and our energy and our love into instead of, like, Trump's fake movement, which is about AI data centers and tax cuts and wars for Israel. If anybody would say you're being too harsh, would you entertain that? I don't – yeah, I don't – I think it's history now. It is history. I mean, we need to focus on the things that matter, which is like, you know, reconnecting our children,

[00:34:50] especially our children to their roots and, you know, raising them up right. Right. You go anywhere these days, you see people are failing at that job. That's why, like, groups like this are so important. Well, this was another topic that came up earlier today. You know, was Trump ever sincere? I would say if you're asking me gun to head, I would say he probably waxes nostalgic for an America that no longer exists. He was born into that America. I would say that, you know, he might think that that America was preferable to what we've got today.

[00:35:19] And if you say that there has been no good in the last 10 years, whether it was because of him or just so happened to happen on his watch, I would say that, you know, there has been some advancements. But, again, some of that could have been circumstance. I mean, you could say that he woke up people, but, you know, George W. Bush was the one who woke up me through his disaster. So I'm sure, like – I'm sure there's a whole new crop of people out there who are watching this. Well, it was always going to have to be something who came after Trump, I think.

[00:35:49] And, you know, is there a chance that as a result of this whole experiment, the good and the bad, that there's going to be somebody who steps into that mantle? Or is it just completely done on that level? We're going through a period of, like, fracture and chaos on the right, which always happens. What happens is – this is the third time it's happened. A Republican president gets in power. He neglects the economy. He invades the Middle East. He breaks his coalition. He becomes unpopular.

[00:36:17] He loses power to Democrats. And the Democrats rule for eight years. This is the third time it's happened. The third time in my life it's happened. Well, do you think – This exact cycle. Now, do you believe as I do? Yeah. I think that the left truly believes Trump is what they say he is. Hitler and – Yeah. And so if they get back, it's not going to be as bad as the left was. You see that – see, James, that's why I was so – But it's going to be that – it's going to be really bad this time.

[00:36:47] I know. But you see that that right there is precisely why I discounted the possibility that it would be this bad because we saw, like, he – in the campaign, all the trials and everything. You would think with him being president and having gone through that, that he would show some restraint because, you know, if I mess up, the Democrats are going to come back to power. They're going to destroy me personally. They're going to – they're going to be out for blood. But no. But no, apparently not.

[00:37:12] Apparently whatever blackmail they have on them was, you know, strong enough outweighed to outweigh – I guess he can pardon himself now. So I guess that's his plan. Will Heidi Byrick ever go to prison? I doubt it. I think it'll be – I think it's a show trial. But it's not good for her though, right? I mean, she's got to spend some money. Yeah. They've gone after Letitia James. They've gone after James Comey. They've gone out – they've gone after, what, John Bolton.

[00:37:42] And I just have no – I mean, if you're going to tell me Kash Patel is going to put someone behind bars, I'm skeptical because I haven't seen it happen once. And I think they want the headlines. None of this has helped the SBLC though. Yeah. Well, I mean, they deserve what they get for all the damage they've done in the past. They deserve a lot worse. They deserve – they deserve – I mean, like, I guess I'm so jaded.

[00:38:09] It's like whenever something – I look at anything that these people are doing and it appears to be good. I always ask myself – I hear this little voice in the back of my head saying, why are they really doing this? What is the secret agenda here? They want us to – I guess it's a headline. They want to boost up morale for the midterms and it's probably the – I don't know if that's going to be enough actually compared to what's going on in Iran and what's –

[00:38:38] I mean, again, we look at it into issues as if people – the average voter understands any of these issues that we ever talk about. What they understand is not being able to pay for anything. Yeah. And that's what's going to drive the people to either sitting out or voting for the Democrats is the cost of living and affordability. You know, we were talking between the break about what came after the 1920s. And you look in Germany, you had, like, you know, the onset of 20s. You had the onset of hyperinflation. Then you had the Great Depression. Can we get the 1930s there, though, here?

[00:39:05] Imagine the 1930s with AI and, like, terrible demographics. Well, you know, the AI always – the AI called itself Hitler. You know, AI, if it was just – That was one AI. Mecca Hitler. Mecca Hitler. When AI is allowed to just examine the reality of statistics and data, it has to be shut down because it arrives at a logical conclusion because it's a machine. Yeah, Grok III was a real soldier I really enjoyed.

[00:39:34] I hope he survived. So that's another thing. And in addition to over the course of the next 10 years as the youth that can't afford anything who just want to burn it all down become the most powerful demographic block coupled with whatever is going to happen with AI over the course of the next five years to 10 years. I mean, you could see a whole different – You know, James, we haven't even talked about – That's not hyperbole.

[00:40:01] The national debt going absolutely out of control, going vertical. We haven't talked about entitlements like Social Security going bankrupt like, what, four years from now? You know, there's a lot – and you look at all these major, major crises and you look at the people in charge and, you know, Trump's talking about making the straight-of-whore moves, the straight-of-America. And you realize instantly these people have no plan for anything. They're just flying by the seat of their pants. And all these – I think he did call them.

[00:40:30] All these serious problems, the demographic change, the AI, the entitlements, the value of the dollar going down, it's all coming to a head. If you want to continue to follow the musings of Brad Griffin, you can do that at OccidentalDissent.com. But you haven't heard the last of him tonight. We're going to pair him up with Michael Hill and some other celebrities in the crowd and do some open mic stuff in the third hour. But first, next, Eddie the Bombardier Miller.

[00:40:59] Been a part of TPC. He was working on my campaign for the state legislature in 2002. Stay tuned. Hey, folks, this is Brent Harry Cooper here. You know, it always feels like home when I'm on this show, and I want to invite everyone to check out Shark Hunters. Head on over to SharkHunters.com where we tell the honest history of World War II without propaganda. And we've always worked to bring former enemies together as friends.

[00:41:22] There's no other source available that publishes this history like Shark Hunters because we got our information, photos, and memories directly from the warriors who fought the battles. SharkHunters.com has an unmatched collection of more than 300,000 photographs right from the veterans themselves. The Shark Hunters magazine will keep you up to date on real history.

[00:41:44] So send us an email to SharkHunters at SharkHunters.com, and we'll send the current issue of our magazine by email. No charge, of course. What are you waiting for? Head on over to SharkHunters.com, and I'll see you there. You know where the solution can be found, Mr. President? In churches, in wedding chapels, in maternity wards across the country and around the world.

[00:42:11] More babies will mean forward-looking adults, the sort we need to tackle long-term, large-scale problems. American babies in particular are likely going to be wealthier, better educated, and more conservation-minded than children raised in still industrializing countries. As economist Tyler Cowen recently wrote, quote, By having more children, you're making your nation more populous, thus boosting its capacity to solve climate change.

[00:42:39] The planet does not need for us to think globally and act locally so much as it needs us to think family and act personally. The solution to so many of our problems, at all times and in all places, is to fall in love, get married, and have some kids.

[00:43:08] We've had a lot of fun so far, but there's still more fun to be had in the third hour, and we begin to pair up some of the folks you've heard so far tonight together, on mic together. And that's where, when we have an opportunity to do that at these live events, magic really happens. And I enjoy turning over the microphones to two great guests and just letting them chop it up for a little bit, and we'll do that. And we've done that at League of the South.

[00:43:32] I remember being in a hotel room with Michael Hill broadcasting live at League of the South conference, and David Duke was there. By the way, we did a David Duke birthday party in that very kitchen over there one year. And one of the shows I remember, I don't remember what year it was because those years play tricks on you now. It didn't seem like it was eight years ago that I was getting those books from you here, but it was.

[00:43:54] But I can remember being with Michael Hill and David Duke and Brad Griffin and Sam Dixon and just pairing them up, and it was just magic. So we're going to see if we can recreate some of that in the third hour, so stay tuned for that. But right now, Eddie the Bombardier Miller, a man who I met, if nobody knows the story of how Eddie and I met, most regular listeners might, but for the purposes of the folks in this room tonight, after I worked for the Buchanan campaign of 2000,

[00:44:21] I wanted to keep the folks together, and I ran for a seat in the Tennessee state legislature. And when I was out knocking on doors one hot summer night, not a night too dissimilar from this night, I left one of my campaign brochures on the door of one Eddie the Bombardier Miller. And when I came back to my campaign headquarters that night, there was already a note saying, I want to support you. Call me.

[00:44:50] And there was a phone number, and I called that number. And for the first time in the summer of 2002, I talked to Eddie Miller. Now, if anyone, Eddie Miller, would have told you that 24 years later, we would be 22 years into this radio project and still sitting across a table from one another at a Southern Nationalist conference with Michael Hill on one flank and Hoyt McCoy on the other, what would you have said to that?

[00:45:17] I wouldn't know how to comprehend that. So many things have happened that just seemed impossible. I remember that all too well. To this day, I remember, and I think I might have even left a note to scribble it on the headquarters door. Because the door was locked. It was stuck in the crack of the – it was two glass doors that closed together, and it was stuck there. Changed my life. I tell you, I have a lot of memories with you.

[00:45:48] Changed the life of Michael Hill. He would have never met you if I hadn't met you. I mean, it's just all of these things. You know, I know we've told this story several times, but I always love it. We talk about it real affectionately, the bean field. When we started broadcast, you first brought me on. I was about the fourth one to come on TPC. And we got to give you good friends. You asked me, like, come on, some host, you know, fill in, something. Somebody was out, so you asked me to come in. The rest was history.

[00:46:15] But we lived in what they – we broadcast what they call – we call the bean field. There was an old obsolete – It wasn't obsolete. It was the working radio station that we were at. Like, we talked about that the other night. It was literally like a tin torture hut. It was so hot. It got so damn hot. The air conditioner went out that day. The only thing we had on was our marks of shorts. We had to strip – it's sweating like pigs. And then we would go outside. We'd talk to James. That was one show.

[00:46:45] One show the air was out. But it was a day like today. And we went outside, and we went outside, and it was 100 degrees Fahrenheit and 110 heat index. And it felt like Christmas compared to what it was. Because that radio station, that was when we were on 1380. We're on 1600 now. But the 1380 building out there was just a square tin building. Now, inside – It was primitive. I mean, the building itself, inside was nice. But the air was out that day, and it wasn't so nice. I don't even see how we survived that.

[00:47:14] But anyway, that's another story from the early days. But today, this weekend, Eddie, we came down together. You rolled into my house. Now, there was a lot of back and forth about how – Can I do it now? Oh, we got a man who wants to say hello very quick. He's been with us all day today. Say hello to everybody, and he's giving me a lot of advice on microphones tonight. Hello? That's great. Yeah, he nailed it. How about that? Give him a big round of applause. Microphones are really nice, and you should go to New Jersey.

[00:47:44] Well, I'm a big – Eddie's gotten me some Jersey Boys posters when he went up to New York. One of the young fellows here today, he's been giving me advice on – what was the website? Loudmics.com? Yeah. Yeah, he wants me to get better microphones. Thank you for your technical advice, and always good to see you down here. I appreciate you, my friend. Take care, brother. All right. We'll see you next year. But anyway, a lot of good kids here tonight. And great families. Thank you, ma'am.

[00:48:14] So, where were we? We were talking – well, let's just talk about – okay, so you got – there was a lot of different scenarios about – I'd say we're going to take back the South and we figure out how to fully finance a trip to Watomka. But we were talking about different – Keith Alexander was going to come at one point, and we were looking at – anyway, you ended up coming. It was sort of at the very last minute. And you rolled in, and we were wheels up at 8.30 on the way down to Watomka yesterday.

[00:48:42] And we stopped at a gas station. And I've told this story to a few people here, but we stopped at a gas station about halfway down. My son's here with us, and he comes with me everywhere I go these days, and he loves these events. And we stopped at a gas station. I bought a single pack of M&Ms. My son got two donuts from just a little open – you know, you open the cabinet, you get two donuts, and a pack of beef jerky.

[00:49:12] Pack of beef jerky, two donuts a la carte, and a pack of M&Ms. $17. $17. I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe it. I said it had to be wrong, but the jerky was like $9. And I guess the M&Ms were $4. There is no way this system is going to hold up. No, it can't. There is no way – this is the point. It's not to – my lamentation is about spending $17 on a pack of M&Ms, two donuts, and beef jerky.

[00:49:41] Although I did, and I couldn't believe it, but once you're in line, you don't want to tell them you don't feel comfortable paying. You just pay it. But I don't see how this nation is going to endure. You know, when I came home from Vietnam the last time, I think it was a 72, we would spend – my parents were complaining about spending $20.

[00:50:09] We spent $20 a week on groceries. You couldn't get any three items off the shelf at any grocery store. Whatever the three items may be is $20. You know, I've noticed we put – when we go $150, $200, we put gas in your tank. It was over $50 just for – we put it half full. And I guarantee you the salaries and the hourly wages aren't going up. So, I mean, what happens to a nation like that? We'll be talking about that in the next hour with you, with Michael Hill, with Hoyt, with Brad Griffin.

[00:50:38] We'll bring everybody back for one last say and maybe some other people if they want to hop on. But I just don't see all of that coalescing, the left coming back into power, the disappointment, the radicalization of the right, the absolute inability for people to afford to survive. I'm not talking even anymore about young kids trying to get a house. I mean, you forget it. But even established people, middle-aged people, elderly people trying to buy groceries, trying to survive at that, $17 for donuts and M&Ms.

[00:51:09] I saw it. And this is in the rural south. This was in nowhere land in terms of like – we weren't in the big city. This was just a truck stop. I love truck stop on the side of the road, $17. So I don't know what's coming. But it's going to be radically different than the life we've known. I'll tell you. I'd like to tell one quick story if I don't run out of time. I've told you this story. I've told you on Blood River once. But this really has destroyed me. Everybody whose mama knows I'm a vat, combat vet.

[00:51:37] And I have to go to the VA now. And the IRS – and I get – I showed James a copy. I had 16 bills to me from like United States Treasury, multiple alphabet soup collection agencies. And we know who owns all these collection agencies. The government, United States government, attacking not for no payment but for slow payments to the VA. Back six months ago, I go down to the VA to file up paperwork. I've got to make this quick.

[00:52:06] But to try to get the government to stop taking my money, there was another combat vet down there, probably almost as old as me. He didn't even know where the hell he was. He was a young girl. I've told this story. I can't tell it too many times. He said, Dad, you need to sit right here. We're at the VA. We've got you some paperwork done. Where his right leg used to be was like a steel. He didn't even have enough money for a regular or official leg of a piece of steel. I thought, my God, you're stealing this man's money.

[00:52:36] And it's what he's earned. And meanwhile, the VA, this very VA, has completely been taken over 100% by Indians in the cardiology. If you go see a cardiologist, the VA. You have been a lifelong – you are a combat medic in Vietnam. You spent your career as a registered nurse. And you're correcting your doctors because they don't know – Dumb as a stump. My best friend lives over there. I won't call his name because he'd freak out if I did.

[00:53:05] He's not quite as fiery as I am. But he lives close to Dr. Hill. Dr. Hill knows him. And he was telling me it's scary. He said, Dr. Hill, you know the hospital I'm talking about. He said, no power on earth to get him in that hospital. He said, these damn Indians and Pakistanis. He said, they're stupid. I said, no kidding. I've been telling you that for months. You know, and they're arrogant. They look down upon us. And they will tell you, yeah, we're taking their country. I mean, the VA in Mexico, you see these people, the turbans in their hair. And they're – they're flaunt it. They're in your face.

[00:53:35] I went to the ER. I got hurt. Who did you fight for in Vietnam? Goldman Sachs, baby. Yeah. Yeah. And the Jew world order. You know, got about some Jews. We love them. But, you know, I was supposed to say that on TPC. But, anyway. I forgive myself. I forgive myself. That's the bad name show on Liberty News Radio Network. You know, I went into the ER about two weeks ago. Two black African doctors couldn't speak to English.

[00:54:04] It's not like we don't have enough American blacks. They had to go to Africa to get black doctors here. Blacks need to – that's your VA for you. You need to go suit the Luta flag and join the Army, folks. We're going to reconcile everything Eddie was just talking about with the purpose of this weekend and where we go from here. Eddie the Bombardier Miller, everybody. He's one of a kind. You'll hear more from him and Michael Hill and Brad Griffin and others in the third hour. We've still got an hour to go back. God, it's going fast, though. Eddie, more to talk about. We'll talk about it.

[00:54:33] Eddie's going to be right back with us as we start the third hour. Stay tuned. We'll be right back with us.
